rich_lahrson Posted January 28, 1998 Share Posted January 28, 1998 I need to get an adapter for a tripod that has the larger Europeantype thread to fit a camera that has the smaller American type thread.Is there anything commercially available or will I have to go toa machinist? I don't want to alter the tripod or the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_rothman1 Posted January 29, 1998 Share Posted January 29, 1998 If I understand correctly,the tripod screw is the larger (3/8") size, and the socket in the camera is the smaller (1/4") size. Most adaptors that I've seen work in the reverse direction. Rather than trying to find an adaptor that works, you might want to consider simply replacing the tripod screw. Most tripod heads permit the screw to be removed and replaced easily, without having to make any permanent modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce_z._li3 Posted February 6, 1998 Share Posted February 6, 1998 The 3/8" to 1/4" or 1/4" to 3/8" adapters are readily available in all of my local camera shops here in Canberra (small capital of Australia with a population of 180,000), and there are also adapters for other wierd sizes. They seems to be made by HAMA (Germany?) and cost less than $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
